Tub Handling Systems

Tub Handling Systems

We truly are experts in tub handling and logistics solutions as is reflected in the fact that we are the only company in the world providing automatic fish-hold robotics—meaning a fully unmanned fish-hold. We offer the most advanced fish processing solutions in the business and provide our unique expertise in designing simpler logistic solutions, such as conveyors and the ValuePump™.

Automatic Tub Handling and Infeed System

The automatic tub handling and infeed systems from KAPP Skaginn are composed of a customizable range of cost-effective modules, from standalone machines to complete systems.

Automatically controlling the infeed of raw material into the initial stage of processing allows for more even handling compared to traditional methods using forklifts. The result is that all subsequent stages of processing are also more evenly regulated, allowing the processing line to operate at optimal capacity.

These solutions provide superior handling of raw materials and increased production flow. By minimizing tub contact with forklifts, the system and its gentle handling extends the useful life of the tubs.

Automatic Tub Washing System

KAPP Skaginn automatic tub washing system is composed of a customizable range of cost-effective modules, from standalone machines up to complete systems. The system meets all hygiene standards required in the food industry and is energy efficient, including water recycling, which also reduces operational costs. Our concept also saves space in challenging situations. Labor requirements are considerably reduced, as buffering and washing are combined in a fully automated solution. The system can handle most standard tub sizes, and its flexible design results in a high capacity system that also saves on space. Water and energy consumption is five times lower than conventional high-pressure washing.

The system is fully automatic, which has several benefits: no need to manually clean tubs and limited exposure to forklifts reduces costs associated with replacement and repair. The advantage of the system is that it can integrate into most processing lines and can be set up as an integrated part of an automatic infeed system. When the infeed and washing system is set up together, the empty tubs can be delivered automatically from the tub tipper to the washing system, where the tubs are washed and delivered clean for storage.

Onboard Fish-Hold Robotics

The Onboard Fish-Hold Robotics system from KAPP Skaginn is a revolutionary processing system for fresh fish trawlers. The system is designed to optimize the fish handling process along with greatly improving the working conditions for the crew. The main benefit of the system is that there is no need for workers to enter the fish hold area, as the tubs are loaded with fish on the processing deck and automatically transported for storage into the fish hold. The system operates without any physical handling of tubs by workers and results in faster processing of the catch along with a safer environment for workers. The system is equipped with a self-unloading mechanism that enables the system to automatically discharge the tubs from the ship and load the ship with empty tubs. 

Conveyor Belts for Food Industry

We possess considerable expertise in designing belt conveyor systems that maintain high product quality and deliver superior belt performance. Ensuring food safety and eliminating bacterial growth are an essential part of choosing the right belt for your food processing facility. Our belt conveyor solutions are designed for durability, gentle product handling and easy access for cleaning. With a strong focus on automation, we are specialists in integrating conveyor systems into various processing lines and machinery.
